Producer : Castillo de Monjardin
Region : Navarra (Spain), Spain (Spain)
Bottle Per Case : 12 x 750 ml
This flagship red of Castillo de Monjardin is named after a king who played a very important role in building the kingdom of Navarra in the 12th century. Made from 100% low-yield Merlot grown in iron-rich soil and fermented in stainless steel, the wine is then aged in new French casks for one year before release. Rich ruby-red in color, Deyo shows intense aromas of blackberries, violets, licorice and chocolate. On the palate it is richly textured with fine-grained tannins and generous depth of flavors. Deyo is the perfect expression of the Navarra terroir in which it is grown.

Castillo de Monjardin is located in the northwest of Navarra in the foothills of the Pyrenées, not far from the French border. Originally, the castle of Monjardin was an important site for the Kingdom of Navarra during the XII century under the King Sancho Garces, today it’s a famous pilgrimage route from Paris to Santiago de Campostella. The proximity and historic cultural links to France provide a winemaking tradition based on Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, distinct from the rest of Spain. Monjardín makes good use of the Garnacha and Pinot Noir that are fresh and fruit forward reds.
During the last 25 years, the winery has been received more than 100 Medals. Monjardín’s vineyards lie on sunny slopes at an average altitude of 1800 feet, and are cooled by the ‘Cierzo’ wind. The Estate has a total of 220 Ha of vineyards 15, 30 and 70 years old.
